Crochet Scalloped Earflap Hat and Flower

April 25, 2016

Some of my blogging friends and I have all teamed up to throw a “Virtual Baby Shower” for one of our best blogging buddies, the incomparable Lauren Lanker of The Thinking Closet! She and her husband, Mark, are expecting their first baby – a precious little girl – this June. Every blogger has contributed something different to our shower, and we have all the elements covered. So grab a cupcake and stay for a while!

I made this Crochet Scalloped Earflap Hat and Flower specifically with her little baby girl in mind 🙂 I love the sweet simplicity of the scalloped edge and the coordinating flower embellishment is also made with the same scallops! I prefer the tightness of the single crochet stitches for the hat rounds but you could use a basic DC or HDC hat pattern as well.

Second earflap placement: Fold hat in half leaving slightly more stitches in the front of the hat than the back. Place the second earflap to line up with the first earflap (Refer to earflap placement from the pictures available at the end of my puppy hat pattern).

I don’t think I have ever been described as incomparable before…way to make me blush, Sarah! And this adorable baby hat has me swooning! I’m not sure what I love more: the scalloped edges or the purple flower contrasted on the white yarn. So delicate, feminine, and beautiful. Thank you for being a part of this incredible gift of a Virtual Baby Shower. I am so fortunate to know you and call you my blog buddy. XO

This is a really cute pattern, and I’ve been following the pattern to the letter – but it keeps coming out too small. I’ve done the 3 – 6 month pattern and it won’t even fit a 1 month old. Don’t know whether the babies I’ve seen just have big heads or if there is a way to change what I’m doing! Any advice/tips would be appreciated!

Love the happy energy of your projects. I recently have become enthused about crocheting, an art that I taught myself from a book while healing from a major surgery years ago. Still have much to learn so grateful that folks are still making and sharing such beautiful works of love. Please keep me posted on new patterns and communities who benefit from work that is made. Thanking you deeply.
